I answered “no” to the update directory to R6 question when R6 server first started (should have answered yes.) So I followed the manual instructions (which can be done before upgrading server… but I did it after). With server down, I replaced the design with the new pubnames.ntf. Still down, used this DOS command:
>\data directory\nupdall -R names.nsf (for win32 platform)
Only the manual is wrong… should say \app directory\nupdall…
d:\lotus\domino\nupdall -R names.
